These delegations will be given the opportunity to select a speaking slot from those remaining at the time of their inscription. After that deadline, no further inscriptions by States or the European Union (if presenting positions of the European Union and its member States as agreed by them, pursuant to paragraph 1 (a) of the annex to resolution 65/276) will be possible. 3. The establishment of the initial list of speakers for the Summit as outlined in paragraph 2 above will take place at a special meeting to be scheduled within one month of the adoption of the present decision. 4. Subsequently, the list of speakers for each meeting will be rearranged in accordance with the established practice of the General Assembly when organizing each category of speakers, following the order resulting from the selection process outlined in paragraph 2 above. Accordingly, within each plenary meeting, Heads of State will be accorded priority, followed by Vice-Presidents and Crown Princes or Princesses, Heads of Government, Deputy Prime Ministers, Ministers and Vice-Ministers, with group statements given further priority within each level. These levels will be followed by that of Chairs of delegation. Member States will be placed first within a given level at a given meeting, subject to the provision in paragraph (k) of the annex to resolution ES-10/23 of 10 May 2024. 5. The first provisional list of speakers will be made available shortly after the completion of the drawing of lots. Subsequent changes will be made in the following manner: (a) If the level of representation changes, the speaker will be moved to the last speaking slot in the appropriate category at the same meeting; (b) Participating States and the European Union may arrange to exchange their speaking slots. In cases of equality in the level of representation, a delegation will be moved to the exact position of the other delegation. In cases of inequality in the level of representation, a delegation will be moved to the last position in the appropriate category at the meeting to which it is changing. Exchanges will be considered as completed only when all the delegations concerned have provided the Secretariat with their written confirmation of the exchanges as set forth above. Completed exchanges will only be cancelled upon notification by all the delegations concerned to the Secretariat of their intention to cancel the exchanges. 6. The second provisional list of speakers will be made available shortly after the deadline mentioned in paragraph 2 (e) above. 7. Following the circulation of the second provisional list, the Secretariat will open the remaining speaking slots to inscription by entities having received a standing invitation to participate as observers in the work of the General Assembly and by the United Nations system, including the funds, programmes, specialized agencies and regional commissions, as well as the Bretton Woods institutions, which are invited, time permitting, to make statements of up to three minutes, on a first-come, first served basis. 8. On the day of the plenary meetings, the list of speakers for each meeting shall be completed and no speakers will be rolled over to the next meeting. Speakers who are not present when their speaking turn comes will be automatically moved to the next available speaking slot within their category at the same meeting. 9. In order to accommodate all speakers at the Summit, statements by the participating States should be limited to five minutes, pursuant to paragraph 7 of resolution 76/307, on the understanding that this will not preclude the distribution of more extensive texts. Pursuant to rule 72 of the rules of procedure of the General Assembly, when a representative exceeds her or his allotted time, the President shall call the speaker to order without delay, which will be done by means of automatic microphone cut-off. In order to ensure that the statements from the list of speakers will begin on time at 10 a.m. at the morning meeting of 22 September 2024, any explanation of vote on the outcome document shall be incorporated into national statements instead of being made at the opening segment.
